Rose Rev, Cyrus Rose was born in Jeffer son county, near Watertown, New York, February 5th, 1831 and died in Athens, Ohio, December 12, 1904,aged 73 years, 10 months, and 8 days. He was a son of Mathias Rose and Lydla Mott Dewey Rose. His father died in Wisconsin in his 9tth year, His mother died in Marietta, Ohio in her 92 year. In his father's family there were five boys and he was the last to pass Into the eternal world. His parents came to Ohio when he was a child of about four years, and they settled In Chauncey, Athens county. After about four years of residence there, their house was, by accident, burned to the ground, after which they removed to Athens and a little later to Coolville where he spent most of his youth. He then went to West Marietta or Harmar where he learned the trade of harness-making. He then went to Delaware and attended the Ohio Wesleyan University several years. He spent the hours out of school at harness-making and carriage trimming that he might thus pay his way through college, but the strain was too great and his health gave way under the self Imposed task Of paying his way through college. Returning to Marietta he continued to work at his trade for about two years. September 20, 1853 Cyrus Rose and Miss Cornelia S. Reed were united in marriage. His wife was from Meigs county. They walked the journey of life together until Dec. 3, 1902 when she was called to the heavenly home. Since the death of his wife he has shared the pleasan t home of his daugh ter, Mrs. W. B. Lawrence, where he peacefully fell asleep near the mid night hour of December 12. In the Spring of 1854 they removed to Athens and after working a few months in the shop of Edgar P. Jewett, on Court street, he purchased the shop and location and here he has conducted business In a straightfor ward, honest, manly way for a little more than half a century. Of their marriage eleven children were born, amamy man. But Cyrus Rose was not found wanting in courage or con slstency. He was a man of decision and conviction. Seldom do we find a man of such convictions of whom every one speaks so kindly and well, He filled various official relations in the church for many years. He was steward and class leader at the time of his death. As a local deacon he was always glad to respond to every call that was made upon him for work and many times he has closed his shop on busy days that he might go into the country and officiate at the funeral of some one. Many times he has conducted in our city and elsewhere funeral services which were a source of great comfort to the sorrowing. Brother Rose was a manly man, in dustrious, honest, loyal, and faithful wherever he was called to work. As a citizen he was most exemplary and useful. His last sickness was really ideal. He was conscious of impaired health and knew well that he was living on borrowed time but continued to work without a murmur. He remained for about a week In the home but was only confined to his bed for a single day. When the shadows deepened and we could see that he was losing his grasp on material things we thought that her might say much about the future but he did not.

Rose, Mrs. Belle Rose Lawrence, and Frank Cyrus Rose, all of Athens, and Mrs. Fanny Rose Snow of Chicago, 111, All of whom were present to attend the funeral services and participate in the tender ministries of laying away a most respected, honored and beloved father. The deceased had taken active part In the Civil war, as a soldier for a short service, in defending the of his country. When a boy of but thirteen years of age, at this impressible, formative period of. life, .he gave his heart to God and his hand to the Methodist Episco pal church and thus early by the help of the Divine One he laid the founda tion for usefulness in life. How ap propriate that at his early waking in the morning he should sing again and again the beautiful song: 'How firm a foundation, ye saints of the Lord la laid for your faith in his excellent ward: What more can he say than to you he bath said, to you wno rorreiuire to Jesus hath fled. Thus early in life Brother Rose learned not to expect fruit without first having a good tree; he learned that character like a substantial building must have a foundation. He knew that the secret of success was found in making the best of the for mative period of life and thus he that he was through Christ he could triumphantly pass into the eternal kingdom of our Lord. An affectionate father, loyal brother in Christ, honored and useful citizen has passed to be forever with the Lord. We assemble, as it were to witness his coronation. Appropriate funeral services were held in the Methodist Episcopal church December 14, and these ser vices conducted by his pastor, Dr. W. L. Siutz, were largely attended Burial was had in the new cemetery, by the side other members of his family. Prayer Crusade was observed at Hotel Berry Tuesday afternoon.

When at the Ohio Wesleyan College at Delaware, he was licensed a local preacher. It was his intention to en ter the active itinerant ministry in the Methodist Episcopal church but at that early day the question of sup port was a very important one and candidates for the ministry were ex pected to spend several years in rural work where the allowance was not sufficient to keep a married pastor and wife and he was married, and thus seemingly barred , for a time from entering the regular Itinerancy. As we have seen Brother Rose in bis maturity and the dignity of a noble manhood we have not doubted that he would hare shared splendid success as a regular pastor. lie kept sweet andlojal to all the interests of the church in the ranks of a local deacon, having been ordained a deacon by the Ohio Conference, and won for himself! a most enviable position in the hearts of the people. He was industrious and followed well the footsteps of him of whom it was said "Abraham be lieved God and it was accounted unto him for righteousness." Fifty years residence in our little city was sufficient to test the fibre of The Old Inn. The Old Inn, shown In the second act of the Strollers, is modeled from an ancient tavern in the heart of the Schwartzwold, in Germany, about which many legends are related. This Is the tavern about which the old fam iliar story is told of the landlord who furnished his patrons with a mechan ical bed. This bed had a set of circu lar steel arms on. its under side, which, by a movement of a lever in an adjoin ing room, swiftly and surely encircled the body of its occupant, pinioning his arms In such a manner as to ren der him absolutely helpless, when the would kill his guest at his leisure, rob him, and dis pose of the body in the old lime kiln which was In the vicinity, The bed is still shown to curious travelers in the district.

Funeral was held at the Presbyterian church Sunday, Dr. King officiating. Burial took place in the new cemetery. He leaves besides his parents three sisters. Lulu.

Theatrical It is a great pleasure to be able to announce the engagement of Nixon & Zimmerman's Opera Co. in a grand production of "The Strollers," one of the most tuneful of all musical comedies. It will be presented in an elaborate manner both as to staging and costuming and will be interpreted by one of the strongest singing organi zations on the road this season. This opera has been given in a number of the largest cities, with the greatest Buccess and has been met with overwhelming houses. The whole production ranks with the very best that has been launched out by Nixon & Zimmerman. In the company will be found such well known artists as Gene Lineska, May Bon ton, Maida Snyder, Robert Lett, Dwight Allen, Joe Smith Marba, George Lydecker, Henry J. Santra and a number of others of equal prominence. This will be one of the strongest attractions that will appear here during the present season and will undoubtedly attract all of our musical loving patrons, Decembr 27.

Cohimbns, O., Dec 20, Special-- As was expected, the opposition to the renominatlon and re-election of Govt emor Herrick Is rapidly dissolving. For a time the enemies of the governor conducted a most active cam paign, but it dwindled away until now only occasional attacks are made upon him. In the Youngtown Telegram J. C. Jackson, editor of the American Issue, : the organ of the Anti-Saloon league. has written a series of letters concern ing the Brannock law, and in commenting upon the arguments of Rev. Mr. Jackson the Telegram says editor ially: 'It is the desire of the Telegram to treat the Anti-Saloon league fairly. and in pursuing that policy this paper Friday gave publicity to another lengthy tetter from J. C. Jackson, the sdltor of the American Issue, the or gan of the league. In this latest eflu-sion from our Columbus friend a great deal of straw Is threshed over. In fact not a single new argument Is offered. Possibly a new feature ts offered in the declaration that Governor Herrick is not the Republican party. No one has ever mads such claim, but the fact remains that he was nominated and elected by Republican votes. He la the leading Republican official of the state and as suck must be regarded as a very important factor of the party. Editor , Jackson volunteers the pinion that the defeat of Governor Herrick at the election would not be a defeat for the Republican party. He Is quite certain that the Intelligent voters of Ohio would be able to defeat Herrick and at the same time elect the balance of the Republican ticket, including the legislature. Once more the Telegram asks what would be gained by sack result? Suppose Mr. Jackson and his friends sueced In electing a Democratic governor, what would they profit? The governor now has the veto power, and a Democratic governor could block moves made by .- a Republican legislature, m aaamon - the governor would have the power to fill all appointive positions wiyi Dem-eervt. la short, it Sdltor Jackson End his friends succeed In their scheme for revenge they would injure the Republican party Immeasurably, The anti-saloon people know full well that whatever temperance legislation given the people of Ohio has come through the Republican party. Editor Jackson would have It appear that Democrats largely assisted in bringing about that end, but he should know that when the Democratic party controlled our legislative body temperance measures received about as much attention as would bo given a beggar at a feast of the Four Hundred. He knows, or should know, that the sols hope of the temperance people of Ohio rests with the Republican party. yet he, with others, would turn the state administration over to the Democratic party because a Republican ' governor refused to do everything that he and his associates desired. Isn't that pretty small politics? The liquor dealers' organization of Ohio was taught a lesson years ago. They became arrogant and dictatorial In matters of legislation. They claimed to hold the balance of power and this they held over both parties as a club. They sought to tell legislators what they must or must not do. Then there eame a time when the people revolted, : and they served notice on the liquor men that the time had arrived for a new deal. Then the liquor dealers organization as a ruling factor In legislation went out of business. They rode for a fall and they got it. Will not the Anti-Saloon league profit by this example? Are they going to follow In the footsteps of the liquor deal ers' organization? Will the Republi can party of Ohio submit now to what they refused to submit years ago, 1. e., dictation by a body of men organized for a single purpose? It appears to the Telegram that the Anti-Saloon league of Ohio is- assuming too much when it says to the Republican party that It must not nomi nate this man or that man. The Telegram does not believe that the temperance people of Ohio, who have gained so much through the Republican party, are going to defeat a Republican candidate for governor of Ohio1 at the behest of a set of men who frankly at .pit that they are out for revenge and In order to get that (continued ok pagk 8)

The deceased had taken active part In the Civil war, as a soldier for a short service, in defending the of his country. When a boy of but thirteen years of age, at this impressible, formative period of. life, .he gave his heart to God and his hand to the Methodist Episco pal church and thus early by the help of the Divine One he laid the founda tion for usefulness in life. How ap propriate that at his early waking in the morning he should sing again and again the beautiful song: 'How firm a foundation, ye saints of the Lord la laid for your faith in his excellent ward: What more can he say than to you he bath said, to you wno rorreiuire to Jesus hath fled. Thus early in life Brother Rose learned not to expect fruit without first having a good tree; he learned that character like a substantial building must have a foundation. He knew that the secret of success was found in making the best of the for mative period of life and thus he that he was through Christ he could triumphantly pass into the eternal kingdom of our Lord. An affectionate father, loyal brother in Christ, honored and useful citizen has passed to be forever with the Lord. We assemble, as it were to witness his coronation.

When at the Ohio Wesleyan College at Delaware, he was licensed a local preacher. It was his intention to en ter the active itinerant ministry in the Methodist Episcopal church but at that early day the question of sup port was a very important one and candidates for the ministry were ex pected to spend several years in rural work where the allowance was not sufficient to keep a married pastor and wife and he was married, and thus seemingly barred , for a time from entering the regular Itinerancy. As we have seen Brother Rose in bis maturity and the dignity of a noble manhood we have not doubted that he would hare shared splendid success as a regular pastor. lie kept sweet andlojal to all the interests of the church in the ranks of a local deacon, having been ordained a deacon by the Ohio Conference, and won for himself! a most enviable position in the hearts of the people. He was industrious and followed well the footsteps of him of whom it was said "Abraham be lieved God and it was accounted unto him for righteousness." Fifty years residence in our little city was sufficient to test the fibre of The Old Inn. The Old Inn, shown In the second act of the Strollers, is modeled from an ancient tavern in the heart of the Schwartzwold, in Germany, about which many legends are related. This Is the tavern about which the old fam iliar story is told of the landlord who furnished his patrons with a mechan ical bed. This bed had a set of circu lar steel arms on. its under side, which, by a movement of a lever in an adjoin ing room, swiftly and surely encircled the body of its occupant, pinioning his arms In such a manner as to ren der him absolutely helpless, when the would kill his guest at his leisure, rob him, and dis pose of the body in the old lime kiln which was In the vicinity, The bed is still shown to curious travelers in the district.

Cohimbns, O., Dec 20, Special-- As was expected, the opposition to the renominatlon and re-election of Govt emor Herrick Is rapidly dissolving. For a time the enemies of the governor conducted a most active cam paign, but it dwindled away until now only occasional attacks are made upon him. In the Youngtown Telegram J. C. Jackson, editor of the American Issue, : the organ of the Anti-Saloon league. has written a series of letters concern ing the Brannock law, and in commenting upon the arguments of Rev. Mr. Jackson the Telegram says editor ially: 'It is the desire of the Telegram to treat the Anti-Saloon league fairly. and in pursuing that policy this paper Friday gave publicity to another lengthy tetter from J. C. Jackson, the sdltor of the American Issue, the or gan of the league. In this latest eflu-sion from our Columbus friend a great deal of straw Is threshed over. In fact not a single new argument Is offered. Possibly a new feature ts offered in the declaration that Governor Herrick is not the Republican party. No one has ever mads such claim, but the fact remains that he was nominated and elected by Republican votes. He la the leading Republican official of the state and as suck must be regarded as a very important factor of the party. Editor , Jackson volunteers the pinion that the defeat of Governor Herrick at the election would not be a defeat for the Republican party. He Is quite certain that the Intelligent voters of Ohio would be able to defeat Herrick and at the same time elect the balance of the Republican ticket, including the legislature. Once more the Telegram asks what would be gained by sack result? Suppose Mr. Jackson and his friends sueced In electing a Democratic governor, what would they profit? The governor now has the veto power, and a Democratic governor could block moves made by .- a Republican legislature, m aaamon - the governor would have the power to fill all appointive positions wiyi Dem-eervt. la short, it Sdltor Jackson End his friends succeed In their scheme for revenge they would injure the Republican party Immeasurably, The anti-saloon people know full well that whatever temperance legislation given the people of Ohio has come through the Republican party. Editor Jackson would have It appear that Democrats largely assisted in bringing about that end, but he should know that when the Democratic party controlled our legislative body temperance measures received about as much attention as would bo given a beggar at a feast of the Four Hundred. He knows, or should know, that the sols hope of the temperance people of Ohio rests with the Republican party. yet he, with others, would turn the state administration over to the Democratic party because a Republican ' governor refused to do everything that he and his associates desired. Isn't that pretty small politics? The liquor dealers' organization of Ohio was taught a lesson years ago. They became arrogant and dictatorial In matters of legislation. They claimed to hold the balance of power and this they held over both parties as a club. They sought to tell legislators what they must or must not do. Then there eame a time when the people revolted, : and they served notice on the liquor men that the time had arrived for a new deal. Then the liquor dealers organization as a ruling factor In legislation went out of business. They rode for a fall and they got it. Will not the Anti-Saloon league profit by this example? Are they going to follow In the footsteps of the liquor deal ers' organization? Will the Republi can party of Ohio submit now to what they refused to submit years ago, 1. e., dictation by a body of men organized for a single purpose? It appears to the Telegram that the Anti-Saloon league of Ohio is- assuming too much when it says to the Republican party that It must not nomi nate this man or that man. The Telegram does not believe that the temperance people of Ohio, who have gained so much through the Republican party, are going to defeat a Republican candidate for governor of Ohio1 at the behest of a set of men who frankly at .pit that they are out for revenge and In order to get that (continued ok pagk 8)
